In' the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is aview in front elevation illustrating my vie' in longitudinalsec'tion showing a|tooth brush in position'in theholder. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the clamp 7.

1 represents a 'strip of sheet metal openings 2 therein, so that the bracket may besecured ina vertical positionvagainst` a wall or other support. the metal strip forming the bracket is bent outwardly at right angles and provided with an opening?, inwhich a cup 4 is secured, said cup preferably having an ening 5 in its bottom to drain the brus as will be understood.

The upper end of the strip constituting the bracket is bent out lin a plane-in front of the main plane stitutes an. upwardly projecting tongue -6 to receive my improved clamp 7.
